There are button mashers like me, and then there are people who pull off moves like these without blinking. In between those two groups is the Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 strategy guide by BradyGames.

Will a strategy guide help me play Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 better than I normally would? I was considering picking up a copy, but then I saw the preview Capcom posted this evening featuring the entries for Wolverine and Ryu. There is no way in hell I could ever pull off whatever is happening in those combo instructions above. The better players say that practice helps, but I can't imagine a world where I can perform anything as complicated as this.

How would I even use the book? Lay it in my lap, press a few buttons, pause real quick, memorize the next few buttons, and un-pause?

If you're the kind of player that can look at that jumble of instructions and picture exactly what would happen on screen if you entered them, then congratulations: I am officially terrified of you.
